Overview

• Forest agreed to sign Dan Ndoye on a five-year contract plus an option to 2031 after he passed his medical, paying an initial €40 million with €5 million in add-ons and granting Bologna a 10 percent sell-on clause.
• Ndoye becomes the Reds’ third summer arrival following striker Igor Jesus and centre-back Jair Cunha as the club strengthens for Premier League and European campaigns.
• A reported £25 million offer for Manchester City midfielder James McAtee was rebuffed this week, leaving midfield reinforcements as a key priority.
• Southampton boss Will Still acknowledged the need to sell at the right price as Forest pursue Mateus Fernandes, with a fee in the region of £40 million to £50 million under discussion.
• Proceeds from Anthony Elanga’s and Ramón Sosa’s departures are underpinning an owner-backed rebuild focused on replacing outgoing wingers and boosting squad depth.
